Breaking: Trump Bans US , Residents from ’s ‘Petro’
US president Donald Trump has issued an executive order banning US citizens from buying, trading or dealing in (the Petro) related to the Venezuelan government.
In what is certain to be the first crypto-related executive action taken by a US president, the White House revealed Donald Trump’s executive order to unconditionally ban all activities related to Venezuelan government-issued or related cryptocurrencies within the United States. The move was “in light of recent actions taken by the Maduro regime to attempt to circumvent U.S. sanctions by issuing a digital currency in a process that Venezuela’s democratically elected National Assembly has denounced as unlawful,” the White House said.
An excerpt from the executive order confirmed:
All transactions related to, provision of financing for, and other dealings in, by a United States person or within the United States, any digital currency, digital coin, or digital token, that was issued by, for, or on behalf of the Government of Venezuela on or after January 9, 2018, are prohibited as of the effective date of this order.
As reported previously, Venezuelan president first announced the ‘Petro’, a digital currency backed by Venezuela’s massive oil reserves as a means to combat US sanctions and the financial blockade, earlier in December.
The Petro saw its pre-sale launch on February 20 and isn’t without controversy with the country’s national assembly declaring it a ‘fraud’ while market observers have criticized the petro for undermining legitimate decentralized cryptocurrencies. ------------------

[2/27/18] If customers of online retail giant Amazon are to be believed, the idea of a Jeff Bezos-launched digital currency could be a hit.
————————————————
According to a recent survey of 1,000 Amazon AMZN, +0.10% customers, more than half of the respondents were down with the idea of Amazon entering the virtual currency world, and only 1 in 5 opposed the idea.
————————————————
“Just a little over half of the respondents, 51.7%, answered ‘yes’ to the idea of using an Amazon-created cryptocurrency — perhaps dubbed Amazon Coins — for future purchases on the website,” the LendEDU survey found. “Additionally, of those with Amazon Prime, 58.27% said they would consider using a cryptocurrency created by the company,” LendEDU said.

[2/27/18] When you think about who’s buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and other cryptocurrencies, it’s natural for your mind to wander to tech hubs and big cities. Jacksonville, Fla. probably wouldn’t be the first city to spring to mind.
————————————————
But a new survey from analysts at Status Money shows that Florida’s largest city is actually a big player in the crypto world, boasting the most cryptocurrency investments per person as of December 2017.
————————————————
California hubs, such as Sunnyvale, and major metro areas like Manhattan don’t even crack the top five in holdings per person. Instead, it’s smaller towns like Charleston, S.C. and Atlanta suburb Alpharetta that rank high.

[2/27/18] Coinbase — the digital crytocurrency exchange — has announced that it will comply with a request from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to hand over 13,000 customers’ data. The decision comes after the IRS asked for the data of anyone who bought bitcoin between 2013 and 2015 so it could investigate anyone avoiding cryptocurrency taxes.
————————————————
Coinbase had initially rejected the request, before the San Francisco court ruled that the company must hand over records for everyone who has made transactions of more than $20,000 USD during that period.
————————————————
In a statement, Coinbase explained that it had “fought this summons in court in an effort to protect its customers, and the industry as a whole, from unwarranted intrusions from the government.”
